OK, so I’ve worked out with the client that we don’t need dates on the grid. When there’s a matinee and evening performance they’re entered separately anyhow so they’ll simply add the word matinee to the afternoon listing which will differentiate it.
Do I need to make those feature requests in a specific place or are they noted from here?
Hey Rob! Thanks.
1) glad to hear more is coming on recurring options
2) not, they mean on the grid. so for instance in this capture: http://www.hoffmangraphics.com/downloads/matinee-evening.jpg
you’ll see that on July 16 the same event appears twice. To the client that looks like an error. One is a matinee and one is an evening performance. They want the times to display. BUT they really only want the start times. So this is a FEATURE REQUEST… to be able to list NO time or list START time ONLY!3) Yes, I figured that out after posting and I’m going through all the manually migrated events now. The volunteer doing them didn’t get the categories selected correctly. We need to have TWO selected for each event, one for location and one for event type, so both can be searched for from the custom drop downs I had Sam make.
And that would be another FEATURE REQUEST… it would be nice to have a search function for the calendar (separate from the site search) and also to be able to EASILY search/list on multiple categories!
Thanks Rob.
SheilaRob, thanks for walking me through all the troubleshooting steps. After trying the 2011 theme to rule out my theme, and deactivating all plug-ins, to no avail I finally played with the roles and that was it…
I FIXED IT!
It was indeed a role issue. We had it on “member” which didn’t work and you had me change. You thought that was an added on role. I then downed the level to “contributor”. But I just upped it to “editor” and now the edit and delete options are there AND they work.Sheila
Thanks Rob. I did NOT get notified of this post which is why I hadn’t seen it until now. Maybe it’s part of the editing ability that’s broken?
You have summarized the remaining issue correctly. I will go try these things and report back asap.hmmm…My users shouldn’t KNOW that they can go to wp-admin and see a modified version of the Dashboard. BUT I tried it to see what they see at the role “contributor”. It lists all the events. But they can only VIEW them not EDIT or DELETE them. So this tells me ECP’s setting is taking to allow these functions.
Couldn’t edit last post… After changing role I logged in as that user and posted. Then tried to edit. Still same issue. It says I don’t have permission to edit event. BUT I was able to delete it from the Dashboard without that error in moving to trash. I deleted mine from within the event. Then I deleted your test event from the listing view rather than the edit view and no error. So we may’ve fixed one issue at least. But not the more important one. We MUST be able to allow users to edit from their interface.
I just changed the one “member” role to “contributor”. We’ll see if that changes anything. But I’m eager to hear back from you. The client is getting antsy. They wanted this to go live with content by June 1 and this is creating a slow down of progress.
That is MOST odd Rob. I do not have any customized roles or plug-ins. I believe, in looking at that, that it was created somehow by ECP. The ONLY “member” listed is the one I setup to have access to the calendar (all members will be using that one login). But I thought that role was part of ECP. I did not create it. The ECP path is set for /calendar/member/add. Could using Member there have anything to do with it?
I was thinking about trying to just delete that one “member” and see what the fall out is. This dev site is a clone of their live site. The live site does not have this role at all. The only difference in the 2 installations is ECP and the Community add-on.
Hope this info helps unravel the puzzle. I haven’t changed anything for now. Please advise.
This is a helpful thread. Thanks. I just wanted to add +1 for being able to filter multiple categories. I’m working with an arts coalition and they want folks to be able to filter by both city and art form.
Thanks so much Rob. Yes 2.0.6 for both. Just sent you login info. Will explore all your responses and get back to you. When you login will you check for both the potential bugs please?
Update on possible bug #2: When the site admin is notified there’s been an event added and she follows the link for editing it (by the number like this one… Review Event if she didn’t add it she can’t edit it. In this case I added that event so I could access it to edit but she couldn’t. I assumed admin would be able to edit ALL events via the ECP interface. Can she only edit ALL events via the WP Dashboard? There seems to be an issue with editing access.
Just want to verify that it’s still a no-go with Headway Themes v2.x and ECP? I know you fixed it with HT3x but I have a v2 site that I was going to do this with and now I think I’m screwed! There’s no way for me to upgrade the site from v2 to v3. They’re not providing an upgrade path and it would mean a grueling unpaid for change. Color me very sad.
